Description:

Discover the Colosseum after the daytime crowds have left and when this ancient structure is at its most charming and mysterious. Explore the Colosseum underground through the passages once walked by gladiators and animals before their battles.

Start your tour at Trajan's Column; move past Piazza Venezia and up Michelangelo's staircase to reach the Campidoglio—the charming 16th-century square designed by Michelangelo.

The Roman Forum is closed at night, but head around the museums to find a little-known vantage point that offers the perfect vista of the entire site. See temples, arches, and the forums of Caesar and Augustus on your way down the hill making your final stop outside the Roman Colosseum.

Venture into the magnificent arena and its rarely seen underground tunnels as you learn about its shadowy past and explore the previously hidden passageways where gladiators, lions, and tigers once stalked before being hoisted up onto the arena stage floor via trap doors.
